Four Republican senators broke ranks with President Donald Trump by supporting a Democratic-led resolution to repeal his emergency declaration that imposed tariffs on Canada.
The resolution, spearheaded by Senator Tim Kaine, challenged the White House's justification for the tariffs. In response, Trump launched a late-night tirade on social media, accusing the senators—McConnell, Murkowski, Paul, and Collins—of being 'unbelievably disloyal.' The move highlights growing divisions within the Republican Party over Trump's trade policies and use of executive power.
The resolution passed with bipartisan support, signaling a rare rebuke of the president by members of his own party.

Hnestly the news right now is crazy.

It’s about time some Republicans stood up to Trump’s reckless trade tantrums—especially when they hurt our allies like Canada and damage American jobs. Using an “emergency declaration” to slap on tariffs was a total abuse of power from the start. Honestly, it’s wild that calling out this nonsense is considered “disloyal” in today’s GOP.
Glad to see a few Republicans finally standing up for free trade and pushing back on executive overreach. Tariffs are just hidden taxes on consumers, and slapping them on an ally like Canada makes zero economic sense. Trump’s obsession with loyalty over liberty is exactly the kind of authoritarian nonsense libertarians have been warning about for years.
